We have been on a victory journey with the people of Israel, one where they learn to die to their old identity, rise to their new identity, walk with God, and live in community. They’re about to leave their boot camp in the wilderness and head toward the promised land.

Alas, something tragic happens before they break camp. It’s not fun to look at the hard things, but in today’s episode, we’re looking at the incident of the Golden Calf.

The Golden Calf was a direct contradiction to everything God had been teaching them thus far—the freedom, the covenant, the Tabernacle, etc. There are natural and necessary consequences that follow this incident. It gets a little scary, a little intense.

But in the end we see that God’s purposes stand. He’s going to get the people as a whole to the promised land. He is a God of justice and compassion, and He invites relationship and intercession.

We invite you to us on the trail!
